Charter Fishing Trips – Private & Shared Options
Looking for a memorable fishing experience on Puget Sound? We offer both private and shared charter fishing trips, giving you flexibility based on your group size and preferences. Whether you’re planning a family outing, joining a shared boat, or introducing your kids to fishing, we have a trip to match your needs.
Types of Trips Available
To begin with, you can choose between private or shared trips.
Private Charters – ideal for families, friends, or coworkers, private charters ensure you’ll have the boat to yourselves. Since no outside anglers are added, you can relax and enjoy your time on the water together.
Shared Trips – alternatively, shared trips are perfect for solo anglers or small groups. If you don’t have four people, you can still join others who are just as excited to fish. Although our boat comfortably holds six guests, we typically limit shared trips to a maximum of five for your comfort.
Where We Fish
Our charter fishing adventures take place in the beautiful saltwater region of Puget Sound, departing from Shilshole Bay Marina in North Seattle. Because this location is just a short ride from downtown Seattle, it’s incredibly convenient for locals and visitors alike. Furthermore, we operate between May and October, when fishing conditions are ideal.
What’s Included in Every Charter Trip?
Every fishing trip includes everything you need for a successful day on the water:
- A clean and safe vessel
- All U.S. Coast Guard-required safety gear
- A licensed, experienced captain
- Rods, reels, bait, and tackle
- Professional, friendly instruction
- Complimentary fish cleaning, filleting, and bagging
Additionally, all rates include tax, but we do pass on the 3% credit card processing fee when booking.

How We Fish Multiple Anglers
On every trip, we troll for salmon using advanced downriggers. While we have the capacity to run three downriggers, certain tides or currents may limit us to two. Rather than overloading the lines and risking tangles, we rotate anglers for each strike. This method ensures better results and keeps the experience smooth for everyone. We also fish a third rod with a different technique without the use of a downrigger.
Flounder Trips (3 Hours)
Looking for something quicker or more relaxed? Flounder trips are a fun and fast-paced way to get into fishing. In addition, we do not use downriggers for flounder trips. Each angler uses a rod and reel.
- $225 per person
- 4-person minimum (or $900 minimum for fewer than 4)
- Limits: 10 flounder per angler
- Available April through October
Because these trips are shorter and great for kids or casual anglers, they’re especially popular. For that reason, availability can be limited. However, we do offer flexible departure times depending on the season.
To book a flounder trip: Reserve a private trip, then email us immediately to request it as a 3-hour flounder charter.
